New Forum Search Engine Feature

[oltos]

Suppose you wanted to find a capable fellow forum member to collaborate on the design and build of something, like speakers or subwoofers. Ideally, during and/or after the final build stages and for listening sessions and hardware transport, the member wouldn't be located more than a state or so away; within driving distance.

Accordingly, added to the forum's Advanced search engine could be a field for finding US members by the state they reside in. Perhaps fields for similar uses could be also be added for those based in other nations.

Interesting. Of course while many members show their national flag, it isn’t compulsory.

Correct, we do not ask for specific location information from our membership.

There have been some attempts at creating threads for members in a specific city, state, province or country. It's a great way to find locals, but doesn't always get a lot of action.
